The Human MANET Portable Radio (HaMPR) is a human-carried portable Amateur Radio Emergency Digital Network (AREDN) wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) access device that encompasses both a MANET radio and an End User Device (EUD).

HaMPR can be worn & operated by a single person and will either initiate a local MANET, or extend/augment an existing MANET, particularly in emergent situations. This design utilizes Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) components ensuring low cost & easy sourcing. HaMPR supports any smartphone or IP network application, including Situational Awareness tools like ATAK, Push-to-Talk apps like Orion, or other services like web browsing, Voice-over-IP, chat, and more.
